Overview

I have just received from the Government of Cundinamarca a book that deals with on the shields and flags of this department. This book is called "Shields, Flags and Hymns of Cundinamarca", written by Rosalba Salazar Gallo for the Secretariat of Culture of Cundinamarca. Here is the flag of Viot� (in Tequendama Province). The colors in the book are green and red which is incorrect. The correct flag of Viot� is RED and GREEN in a horizontal bi-stripe with a 3:2 scale.

From <www.cundinamarca.gov.co>:
"Est� formada por dos franjas de igual tamano de colores verde y rojo.
La parte superior de color verde significa la agricultura, principal fuente de trabajo y enorme riqueza del municipio.
La parte inferior en color rojo, representa las grandes luchas agrarias sostenidas en el pasado y las que forman parte del legado hist�rico del municipio. Tambi�n los frutos maduros del caf� principal cultivo y fuente de trabajo en la regi�n."
Note: The image in this site show GREEN over RED as the Previously Reported Flag.

Yesterday, I've called at the Municipality of Viot�, and they confirmed me the colors of the flag. The colors are RED in first place and GREEN in second place, in a horizontal bi-stripe. Confirmed by Municipality of Viot�, Mayor's Office (in Spanish means "Municipio de Viot�, Despacho del Alcalde").
